Topic: Podcast #4 Submission Time! (Read 14862 times)

The time has come where the 4th Donation Coder podcast needs to start being nailed down and getting prepared for the August Broadcast.

The production of the Podcast has been deligated to JavaJones and me Mukestar (I use the term delegated loosly, as in “Ghengis Khan deligated his way into northern China”)

We`ve got a couple of new idea to introduce a monthly format flavour to the podcast, and turn it into a mean lean podcasting machine (think George Forman grill with a USB connector).

The podcast can only exist if we can get the continual support from all you Donation Coder members out there, and this is who we need.

1. YOUWe would like to introduce a monthly feature where a member tells us who they are, where there from, what they do, there first PC, there hates, there loves. You get the idea. An Audio version of the “OK-Lets get to know each other” thread on the forum. So come on tell us who you are, speak out be it funny or serious – its all good.

2. SOFTWARE REVIEWERSWe want people to give us a concise review of the software they love or loathe, the piece of code they cant live without , the piece of code they cant live with. The best review for a piece of software is from the people who actually use it day to day. Get recording.

3.ARTICLES AND FEATURESMore “Man on the street” interviews pleaseMore Interviews full stopArticles related to the wonderfull world of computers

4. RantersEveryone can rant, ranting is good for you. We like rants.

And remember

Just noticed that people where asking about alternative codecs for the cast, not a problem. Vorbis, WMA,IFF,Mp3,Impala,ADPCM,G.726 whatever you like , the masters going to be batched encoded anyhow so not a problem. JavaJones has even volunteered to hand deliver 4-track versions of it

That's great guys, what a big task to take over. I'll try to make sure I do my share and keep my portion coming, maybe with some extra music. Sorry about missing last month, it was a rough couple of weeks for a while, but I'm back on track now.

I can put up an FTP area and/or some other web-based file upload form if desired. I'm also on all major IM clients so I can take file transfers that way. I can easily get them to Mukestar (he's producing so he'll need them in the end). There's also HFS, which I want to do a mini-review of one of these days.

Mukestar will need time to assemble everything together and I'll need time to record my intros for everyone, so ideally we would get everything a few days before the 15th, although that is still the official deadline this time. We're aiming for a really good production and I think you guys will all be pleased. But all the more so if you're in it!

Remember: we're giving away free mics to a select few who need them and who choose to contribute to the podcast. So if you're on the fence and are just worried about audio quality let us know and we'll hook you up.
